The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

"Slave..." The little maid knelt down on the ground, lowering her head and looking for excuses in a panic.

But the more critical it was, the less useful words came to mind.

After a while, the little maid said tremblingly: "This servant does not know this person."

"Since you don't know each other, you were the one who murdered the Empress Dowager?"

"The slaves dare not!"

The little maid was startled, and kowtowed immediately, expressing that she had never done such a thing before.

Li Mi didn't pay attention, and gave the Eunuch Hai a wink, and Eunuch Hai immediately asked the little eunuch to come in with a tray.

On it was a plate of stale fruit, and the little eunuch carefully held it up and approached the little maid.

But when she was about to meet the little maid, she backed away in horror.

"This, why is it here!"

As soon as the little palace maid asked, she immediately realized that the thread in her mind snapped.

Yes, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor has always been bad. How could the Emperor make decisions for the Empress Dowager, and how could he bring food from the Empress Dowager's palace here so easily?
But her reaction has betrayed herself.

The little palace maid kowtowed in horror and begged for mercy: "The emperor forgives the sin, but this servant is just resentful in her heart, not ordered by others."

"Oh?" Li Wei looked at the little maid with great interest.

The little palace maid hurriedly explained: "My servant's friend from the same country also served in the queen mother's palace, but because of a small mistake, he was beaten to death by the queen mother, and this servant feels resentful in his heart, that's why..."

Speaking of this, the little maid raised her eyes to look at the guard of the Prince of Jiu'an who still looked like Qinglian next to her, then lowered her head and said: "When Madam Liu is here, the slaves have no chance, and when Madam Liu is dead, the servants will bribe the queen mother. Aunt Qinglian wants to take advantage of Mo'er's mistakes and be punished to be transferred to the inner palace to serve the Queen Mother, looking for an opportunity to avenge her friends from the same village."

The little palace maid kowtowed and cried: "The maidservant's hometown is in a drought, and she came to the capital to have the opportunity to enter the palace with the help of her friends all the way. She was so kind to the maidservant as a mountain, but was ordered to be beaten to death by the Queen Mother. The maidservant must avenge her. This will happen sooner or later." It will be exposed, the servants already know that they will surely die if they do this, but they will never implicate innocent people they don’t know, please the emperor clearly observe.”

Li Wei looked at Eunuch Hai at the side.

Eunuch Hai stepped forward immediately: "Reporting to the emperor, the servant has already found out that she does have a fellow countryman who entered the palace, and she was also serving in the queen mother's palace before, but a year ago, she accidentally broke the queen mother's favorite white jade vase. die."

Li Mi looked at the little palace lady: "So, you are avenging your friend, and you are full of loyalty."

"Slaves dare not..."

The little palace maid knelt on the ground, lowered her head and did not dare to look at Li Mi's body, her heart was pounding, not knowing what would happen in the end.

It was previously assumed that the emperor would not be very happy if something happened to the queen mother, and would not embarrass her too much.

But now it seems that the emperor's reaction is not what he thought before.

If the emperor wants to push her out to bear the crime of killing the queen mother, she will only die once.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

The little maid was short of breath, feeling increasingly uneasy.

After a while, Li Wei said calmly: "Poisoning the Empress Dowager is a capital crime, but because you are avenging your friend, I will spare your life for the time being, and you will still return to the Empress Dowager's side to take care of her."

The little maid raised her head in disbelief.

Li Shu looked at him coldly: "You don't want to?"

The little maid immediately reacted: "Slave is willing! Slave is willing!"

"Go back."

The little maid was still trembling when she stood up, and walked out silently.

It was only when he got outside the hall that his whole body went limp, he leaned on the pillars under the porch and went out to catch his breath, unable to recover for a long time.

In the hall, Li Mi watched the little maid go out with deep eyes, and asked the others to retreat too. When only he and Fu Yao were left in the hall, Li Mi regained his smile and looked at Fu Yao.

"Yaoyao, can you do something for me?"

Fu Yao had been listening quietly to the side just now, still thinking how credible what the little palace lady said, when she suddenly heard Li Wei's words, she turned her head to look at him in confusion.

"What is it?"

"You can't believe everything this little palace lady says. I still suspect that she has something to do with Li Rong. Tell people to keep an eye on her, and don't let her pass on things that are not good for us."

Li Shen looked at her tenderly, and touched her cheek with his hand, his tone became more gentle, as if coaxing her to do:
"Okay?"

"it is good."

Fu Yao nodded without thinking.

She is also suspecting that there is something wrong with what the little palace lady said. If she is a bad person, she must take precautions earlier.

Seeing Fu Yao's response, Li Wei's eyes suddenly darkened, he couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness, so he just stared at Fu Yao quietly, and then laughed softly after a while.

Outside the hall, Ling Xuan was ushered in by Eunuch Hai, just in time to hear what Li Wei said, frowned slightly, and followed Eunuch Hai in as if he hadn't heard.

When someone came in, he immediately stopped smiling and looked at Ling Xuan.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty." Ling Xuan said after saluting, "I just remembered what I said before that I will announce the matter that the Empress has nothing to do with evil spirits tomorrow, and there are some omissions in it."

"You said."

When Li Shen and Lin Lingxuan said so, he motioned for him to sit down beside him and said.

After Ling Xuan went to sit down, he only talked to Li Wei. From the beginning to the end, his eyes did not pass over Fu Yao.

Fu Yao looked at Ling Xuan curiously for a while, then couldn't help but quietly yawned sleepily, but she had to listen to Ling Xuan's explanation of tomorrow's business, so she had to pull herself together.

But gradually, she lost her mind.

What kind of person is Ling Xuan?
He was the envoy of Qin Tianjian before, but he was not as impressive as the deputy envoy, just like an invisible person.

But suddenly he showed such great interest in this matter, not only went to Fu Qing'er's palace to investigate in person, but also put forward detailed suggestions on how to deal with the Queen Mother. Can't breathe.

With such meticulous consideration, he must have thought about it seriously.

It's not like the calm style of life before.

Did you change someone too?
Fu Yao was shocked by her own thoughts and came back to her senses, just as Ling Xuan had finished speaking and was about to leave.

He glanced at her as if feeling something, Fu Yao was afraid that he would be found out by looking at him and guessing about him, so he quickly lowered his gaze.

Ling Xuan just saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Empress, I will take my leave."

After Ling Xuan left, Li Wei looked at Fu Yao: "Yao Yao thinks he's pretty?"

"what?"

Fu Yao looked at Li Wei in confusion, and after realizing that he was talking about Ling Xuan, she shook her head: "No."

"Then why were you staring at him just now?"

Li Wei himself didn't realize that there was a little sourness in his tone.
